Photo - Date - Rebel T4i

Hi,
I have a Canon Rebel T4i and I would like to know if it is possible to add a date in the photo. If so, please, let me know how to do it.
tks.

The easiest way to get a "dated" photo is to use a P&S like the G series. G15 or 16 or the new G1x. They are very nice cameras, IMHO, too.
EOS 1Ds Mk III, EOS 1D Mk IV EF 50mm f1.2 L, EF 24-70mm f2.8 L,
EF 70-200mm f2.8 L IS II, Sigma 120-300mm f2.8 EX APO
Photoshop CS6, ACR 8.7, Lightroom 5.7

Problem with my new (refurbished) Canon Rebel t4i. Anyone know what's going on?

So, my girlfriend got me this sweet Rebel t4i for Christmas. I'm still learning how to use it, but it's giving me a problem, and I don't know if it's because something's wrong with the camera, or if I'm doing something wrong.
85% of the time, when I try to take a picture or video, instead of taking the picture, it just says "BUSY" on the screen. Sometimes the flash buzzes and flashes light, but no picture. Sometimes if I hold the button down for an extended period of time it will take a picture, sometimes it just fritzs out.
I really like this camera but because of my schedule I haven't found time to sit down and really figure it out. There's a warranty on the camera, plus it was purchased recently, so I need to know if I need to send it back.
I can take a video of what it's doing if that'll help.

There may be nothing wrong at all... this sounds like the camera isn't able to focus. If there isn't much light on your subject (e.g. shooting indoors) and the subject doesn't have enough contrast in poor lighting, then the issue would be normal and not a camera problem at all.
By default, the camera is in "One Shot" mode -- but a side-effect of One Shot mode is that the camera uses a behavior called "Focus Priority".
Focus Priority says that the camera is told NOT to take a photo UNTIL it can confirm that it was able to lock focus on something. Depending on the available light, the camera may struggle to do this. There must be enough light.
But the camera has one more trick up it's sleeve... it can use the flash as a kind of focus-assist light. It pulses the flash rapidly (which will making a buzzing sound) in order to add enough light to the scene so that the camera can hopefully lock focus.
Once it can lock focus, it's happy to shoot.
If you switch the lens to manual focus (set the "AF/MF" switch on the side of your lens to the "MF" position -- that's Manual Focus), THEN the camera is told that YOU are taking care of focus and to just shoot whenever you press the shutter button (there will be no delay -- of course the camera wont even attempt to focus.)
For action photography, you can put the camera into "AI Servo" mode which continuously tracks focus on a moving subject. But a side-effect of AI Servo mode is that the camera uses "Release Priority" behavior instead of "Focus Priority" behavior. In this mode, the camera is told to take the shot as soon as you fully press the shutter release (hence the name) and it will do so EVEN if the camera did not finish focusing (normally you'd half-press the shutter and wait for it to focus -- you can also configure a back-button to focus as well.)
Take your camera outside during the day and try shooting when you KNOW there is plenty of light. It should have no problem. Inside... it needs enough light.
Canon's 430EX II speedlight flash has a red focus-assist beam built into the flash. When you use that flash it will use the focus-assist beam on the flash to focus the camera (the flash projects the beam through a red lens in the lower part of the flash -- and the camera is able to lock focus on the pattern being projected by the beam.) You can even use the flash to create the focus assist beam EVEN if you don't want to use flash (you can tell the camera to disable the flash -- in which case it will just use the beam but wont fire the flash.)
Hope this helps!

Tim

How can I update Camera raw for Photoshop CS5 to access images from Canon Rebel T4i?

How can I update Camera Raw for Photoshop CS5 to access images from Canon Rebel T4i? The updated version of Camera Raw 7 says it only works with CS6. Outside of buying a new Photoshop, is there anything I can do?

Buy Lightroom (much cheaper alternative to Photoshop) - does all your 'Photo-related' tasks. Full version of LightRoom 4 is $149/- - http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-lightroom.html
LightRoom 4 supports ACR (Adobe Camera Raw) 7. Once processed with Lightroom, if you still need, you could take the photo in JPG or TIFF format into Photoshop CS5 for further processing.
Another option is to use Canon Raw Codec that would've come with your camera's box to process the RAW images and then take them into Photoshop.

Photoshop CS5.1 Stopped opening RAW Files from Rebel T4i.

I have Photoshop CS5.1 and it has stopped opening my RAW files from my Rebel T4i. It was working the other day just fine. I have tried to download the plugins that othes said will make it wotk; but nothing has worked so far. Also, it said that all my updates are up-to-date. Can someone help me figure out what plugin I need for make this work again?
Thanks, Julie

Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
On that list it says that it requires ACR 7.1 with CS6/ LR4.1 respectively, so whatever allowed you to open those files was possibly a trial version of these products that allowed the components to work. Short of buying one of the two it will never work natively in CS5.

Iphoto quit working with Canon Rebel T4i

Greetings,
I am running a late 2009 Macbook Pro OS X 10.6.8 with Iphoto 8.1.2. My go to camera is a Canon Rebel T4i and I shoot in Raw almost without exception. File format is .cr2. I have been able to import my Raw photos without issue for several months until today when I received an error message from Iphoto informing me that the photos I wished to transfer were in an incompatible format and could not be imported. I can clearly see the pictures I want to import in iphoto so the program is at least able to generate a preview but it will not import giving me the above mentioned error message. What am I missing and what can be done to correct this short of updating my entire operating system and iphoto? What can I say, I like Snow Leopard.

Used Image Capture and a card reader still to no avail even with preview. Here are screens of the error messages and views I am getting. They may hold a clue:

Is there a specific reason I cannot find a brand new Rebel T4i model in stores or anywhere?

I've been looking to buy a Canon Rebel T4i model in the near near future. I've done so much research on trying to find the best price (but also a genuine model because there are multiple counterfeits out there). I cannot find the model in stores, and if I do find it on the stores' website it says "out of stock" or that it stopped selling it. I know it's not because of the quality, almost every review justifies that it is no doubt, a great purchase and camera. Has Canon quit making them altogether? And if there are still some- where to buy? Or should I settle for the T5i? Help please!

Looks like Canon has stopped making them.

Is there a way of changing photos' dates all at once?

Hi,
I imported a number of photos taken within one week into iPhoto - some of them were assigned a wrong date by my camera which made the last photos the first ones in the folder.
I know I can change the photos' dates manually one by one, but is there any workaround to select multiple photos and change their dates simultaniously? I couldn't find any automator action...anybody who knows a hint?
Thanks

Hi Terence,
thanks for the reply. It does work. Could have figured it out myself, I guess...but I always marked the photos and then tried to change their dates in this little information box in the lower left corner (which doesn't work).
Best regards

Rebel T4i Kit with 18-135mm Lens, STM lens like Amazon?

Amazon has it for the same price, but I noticed it is listed as the STM lens, which is a new lens specifically built for the t4I.
Bestbuy has it listed for the same price, but doesn't list it with STM.
No point in buying the same camera with an older lens from Bestbuy when you can get the same one from Amazon with the new lens.
Hope this can be clarified.

What is the status on the availability of this product? SKU (SKU: 4839135) is on the website but it states for store pick up only. When you select a store, any store for that matter, it shows as unavailable. it does not state the item is on back order.
Why is the item even on the website?

Mac storage filled with "Photo" data, but no photos in iPhoto?

I bought my Macbook Air last May, and I have filled it with around 1000 songs, and I had around 2,500 photos in iPhoto. I checked my storage because I wanted to import more photos to iPhoto, but it would not work. The message, "Can not complete import because there was a problem with a photo" or a message at the top on the iPhoto import tab that was along those lines. So, I checked my storage and it said that I only had around 5 GB left, and on my camera I had 22GB of data. So I bought a external hard drive and moved ALL of my photos over to the hard drive to make space. Now I have 20 photos left in my iPhoto, and I checked my Mac Storage, and it says I still have 30GB of photo data, and 50GB of movie data. 36GB are free out of 121GB when I look at my storage info under "About this Mac" I have cleared iPhoto as well as iMovie. Does anyone have any idea where I can find the files that are taking up all my storage? Thanks for any help!

Again what exactly did you do?
the correct way to move your iPhoto library (you can not move just photos) is
Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

Why do my photo dates change she Facebook updates an album?

When I click on a FaceBook album in Aperture. The little clock thing goes around and around then when it is done all the photos in that album have a date of waht the current date/time is. It makes all them pics out of order when looking ato photos. I don't want this. I want the dates to remain the original. I have no way of knowing waht the original date and time was now! Very frustrating.

BTW, the title should be Why do my photo date's change when facebbok updates an album?

Batch Change Photos' Date - Not Time

Is there a way to change a bunch of photos' date, but not the time?

Neil:
Not in iPhoto. Unfortunately you've go to change the time as well. If there are not too many of them you can do it this way.
1 - move all that you want to redate to the same date to a new roll.
2 - in the Finder copy the folder in the Original folder that represents the roll with the files to be redated to the desktop.
3 - using an application like PhotoInfo batch change the date to whatever you need. It can just add or subtract a specific number of days, months or years to the date as you see fit.
4 - change the name of the folder and import back into iPhoto.
5 - delete the original roll of photos with the incorrect date.
That's about it. It's not too convoluted and can be done. This way the new date will be embedded in the file and stay with it if needed in a new library or other application.
Do you Twango?

Photo date help.

Hello. I did do a search and found some info on this, but that info was a few years old so i thought id touch base again.
When i upload pics from my camera to i-photo the dates and times the pictures were taken is in the info of each pic. However, when i do as much as drag a photo out of iphoto and onto my desk top, that info is lost. I like to store my pics on a flash drive but when i export/resize the pics from iphoto into my pictures folder in "finder" and then move them to my flash drive, all the time data is gone. No way to save that time info with the pics, huh? If not is there a way to upload pics to my mac mini and bypass iphoto so i dont lose the time info? I really like being able to see the info for each pic and the last 5 batches of pics i had developed dont have the correct times. Thanks, O

When i upload pics from my camera to i-photo the dates and times the pictures were taken is in the info of each pic.
OK
However, when i do as much as drag a photo out of iphoto and onto my desk top, that info is lost.
Probably not - althought exporting is a much better way to get photos out of iPhoto drag and drop does not lose the photos date - that is embeded in the EXIF data within the photo (changes made in iPhoto may not be maintained if you drag and drop - but will be if you export)
If not is there a way to upload pics to my mac mini and bypass iphoto so i dont lose the time info?
iPhoto is not at all required - you can use image capture (in your applications folder) to upload photos, you can use the finder to drag them to disk - you can set your preferences in the iPhoto preferences
However alghough you do not give much information I strongly suspect that you are simply confusing photo dates with file dates - two totally different things - Photo data inculding dates is store within the photo in EXIF and IPTC fields and is viewed using a photo program
Files on the other hand have their own set of data describing the file and this is viewed using a file program and the finder or Windows explorer --
SO as a wild guess I suspect you are expecting the file date to be the photos date - while there are programs that can do that (google is your friend - here is one that sounds like it might help - not tested or recommended - just found on Google - http://www.publicspace.net/ABetterFinderAttributes/) that is not the norm - the photo data is in the photo and viewed by photo programs - file programs view the file idata and the data of a file is when it was made - not when the data it holds was created - the photo taken in this case)

Rebel t4i memory card error

I have a 3 week old Rebel T4i. Iam using a 16GB Sandisk SDHC card. Went fine for last 3 weeks. All of a sudden, the camera throws out an error message stating "No card in camera".
Need help..Has anyone faced this type of error & what can be done to solve this.

I have not had the exact same problem but I have had the video consistently stop recording on me about 1 minute to 2 minutes in of recording the video. Can you try and do a low level format of the card? If you can not do that do have a reciept for the Camera and the Memory card if you are having troubles right away I would not settle please do yourself a favor and take it right back. Canon makes amazing products but maybe once a million they make one that is a bad one but more than likely someone handled like a football and dropped it about 10 times. I would save yourself the grief of troubleshooting it here and just take it back or ask Canon for in Warranty service if that is not possible.

How do I remove the photo dates other than with Sport Removal?

How can I remove the photo dates that appear in yellow from a photo other than using the Spot Removal tool which has not worked?

While I agree that more detail is necessary from the original poster ... maybe even a screen capture
I don't know if this is what the original poster means, but when I have tried to use the Lightroom 5 Enhanced Spot Removal Tool for this purpose, I could never obtain a solution that seemed to remove the offending object and fill in the desired area with a relatively continuous and natural looking result. It always seemed clear to me, when I tried to do this, that the result always had un-natural looking discontinuities in the end result caused by my application of the Enhanced Sport Removal Tool.
And so, in my case, to eliminate the dates from the bottom of my photos, I wound up using different software ... in my case Photoshop Elements, which produced a more satisfactory result.
On the left is the version of the photo created by Photoshop Elements, the date is missing (and at the bottom right, a lamp to illuminate the sign is also missing); while on the right is the image with no attempt to remove the date and lamp. My attempts to reproduce the removal of this date via Lightroom were unsuccessful, the grass never looked natural, the grass always had discontinuities which made the result unsatisfactory, and I did not save the Lightroom attempts to remove the date and lamp. (And if you look carefully on the left, you can see places where the shadows abrupty have disappeared, an artifact of the process, however I still deemed the photo on the left to be successful at the removal of these items, as I don't usually focus on the shadows)

Update Photo Date

Just installed Elements 10. I am scanning old photos into Photoshop. When I go in and manually upate the photo date (instead of the default scan date), it appears to accept the change. When I pull the photo up again, the date is altered (e.g., from 1950 to 1949). If I pull it up yet again, the date chagnes yet again (e.g., from 1950 to 1949 to 1948).

I am having the same problem with Elements 10. I did not have this problem with previous versions of Photoshop Elements. I have tried online help, but they were not successful helping me either. I have tried changing the dates through photoshop Editor as well as in Elements, with no luck. Also I installed Lightroom 4.1, 64 bit. I love the program, but changes made there also do not stay with the date I give them. These last photos I scanned now show the date as 1/1/9999. I will be anxiously awaiting a fix for this problem. Another problem I am having is that once I have entered the organizer and closed the program, it apparently does not shut down. If I try entering the organizer again, I must either re-start my computer or first go to task manager and manually close the program there. I do not have the same problem with Elements Editor. I can access it multiple times with no problem.
